New Crime Map Now Available Through Frisco Police

FRISCO, TX -- The Frisco Police Department has launched a new crime map created by the City of Frisco Information Technology GIS Team. The map provides citizens with an interactive online experience that displays crimes and crime trends throughout the city using multiple interactive visual elements (including maps, charts, and filters), Frisco PD said in a news release.

All information available on the Crime Mapping Dashboard is updated nightly and covers the most recent 30-day time frame. For the safety of the public, residential calls are not displayed over the exact location of the incident but rather over the nearest block, Frisco PD added.

“The Frisco Police Department is committed to using technology as another layer of transparency, public access and community engagement with our citizens and business owners. It is our hope that the Crime Mapping Dashboard will provide a geographical view of police-related activity to better inform our citizens, which will ultimately lead to a reduction in crime,” Deputy Chief Jason Jenkins said in the news release.

The dashboard is accessible to the public through www.friscopd.com/crime, but is not yet available for smartphone use. A more mobile friendly Crime Mapping Web application is currently in design, Frisco PD added.
